Hi Everyone, since I haven't got a list of the themes that have been done and who suggested them I wondered if you'd like to throw in some more suggestions for the weekly themed photos? I don't want to duplicate recent themes.

I've pinched a couple from the old thread for the next couple of weeks but I'd love to hear if you have an idea we could use.

Clouds.
I seem to have formed an obsession, and there are so many interesting formations.

I'm not sure what all has been used since I haven't been around as long as some of the other fine posters.

But it seems we all, at one time or another post pictures of Doorways.

"Your own car">>>

I`m not sure if it`s been used before, but seems interesting just like "Your house" few months ago.

Would you allow me to post a pic of my bicycle, as I don't own a car?

Maybe, your transport?

Cigarette lighters and boxes of matches.

Local Library? Favorite Bookstore?

My collection?

I think we did Street Signs not too awfully long ago. But it encompasses a pretty large category!

We've done signs twice since the themes started, but as Tredici says, it's a large category We've also done windows, bottles and flags at least once each and also unusual angles. (I remember which photos I posted for each of these )

I think macro would be interesting.

We've done...

Bridges.
Clouds.
Animals other than pets.
Light.
Old, modern.
Christmas lights.
The house where I live.
Work.
Sculpture.
Patterns.
Ornaments.
Engines.
windows.
Street Signs.
Something big, something small.
My best photo ever.
Sculpture (2).
My refrigerater door.
Yellow.
Photos taken at unusual angles.
Glasses.
Automobiles.
Bright and Dull.
Shoes.
Collectables.
Coffee/Tea mugs/Cups.
Recycling (re-using).
My favorite ...anything, which someone else in your home hates.
Messy.
Flags, Badges and Coats of Arms.
Books.
Aeroplanes.
Before and after.
Found items.
Shadows.
Locks and Keys.
Views from your backyard, balcony or window.
Rain.
Phone booths and post boxes.
Spots/Polka Dots.
Bottles.
Doors.
Symmetry or patterns.
Food/kitchen shelves/pantries.
Weather.
Bodies of water.
Anything old (ie, over 100 years old).
Exercise equipment.
Signposts.
Flags.
Art.
Forces of nature.
Your computer and its situation.
Shelves and staircases.
Reflections.
Taps.
Little and large.
Kites.
Wheels.
The roads we travel.
Metal.
Time.
Trees.

There may be a few that I've missed. A list wasn't kept to start with.

How about "street fixtures" which could include fire hydrants, bike racks, benches at bus stops and so forth.

Some of the above could be repeated since it's a long time since the earlier ones were used. Also:

Rivers & Waterways.
The sky at night.
Night scenes.
Something you have made.
Plants you have grown from seed or cuttings.
Garden or Yard features.
Birds.
Decorative indoor lighting.
Where the land meets the sky (horizons).
Insects.

Surely you should be living up to your forum username, and be suggesting 'anything purple' as a theme


I was going to suggest anything Purple but didn't think alot of people would go for that idea.

But I do have alot of PURPLE things I can take pictures of.

I came in to check if you had suggested Purple as a theme Purple Fan. Thanks for not dissapointing me.

I think purple would be great. Right after red.

Phones, Mobiles

Any given letter of the alphabet, like all B things for instance, bus, bridge,bricks,bluebell

Salt & pepper shakers
Pepper grinders
Peppers!
Things you push (buttons, carts, doors, etc.)
Type of fire suppressors
Swords, knives
Vegetables

Funny or silly hats
Garden or yard gates
Your favorite adult beverage
Old gas/petro station

Musical instrument (be creative)

I plan to become active in the photography areas, now that I have stumbled upon this part of the website. Here are 12 thoughts that jumped into my mind as possible theme suggestions.

Fruit trees.

Hmmm. How about...

Things that look like other things
Jewelry or wearable art
Boxes and their contents
Things that are stuffed
Your childhood toy(s)/your child's toy
Music-related
Something representing your country or area
Sliding doors
Castles
Squares
Cakes
Something scary

It's already been suggested, but I'd like to mention "Night shots" as a theme. I always find really good night photos, especially of things like city lights, fascinating.

Seeing Picqero's photo of flags outside the US Embassy brought a suggestion to mind. Also, Picquero has already suggested flags, but I'd like to expand that suggestion.

If I remember correctly, we may have had flags before, but I'm suggesting specific flags. "Governmental" flags. That is, flags of countries, shires, states, counties, etc. I think that would give all of us a new view of something we may see every day and not really "see" what is around us. And besides, I'd like to see flags from around the world!

In memory of Mrs Slocombe, perhaps we could have Pussies. Keeping it clean though and only having felines.

I'd like to suggest 'bugs'. Insects are quite fascinating when seen close up, with detail showing unseen to the human eye.

The last thing you'll see!

Your feet/shoes!

'up'

Doors

Shadows

Gates

Rust

Something abandoned

Candy, mmmmm.

Arches

I think I might combine Pretty Windows and Arches next fortnight, Leo, Thanks

The old lady choked on those horses some time ago What's our new theme to be, eh?

Grass? Something so simple, yet so many different ways you could go with it. A baseball field, a grassy field, your front yard...etc.

Alphabet.

Things beginning with A, then with B and so on.

A colour - any colour
Things that fly
Things that swim/float
Creepy crawlies
Doors or windows (done before, but always fun)
Signs (ditto)

Thanks
the ABC ones have done well in the past. L it is.

Might I offer some suggestions?

Boats/Waterfront

Waterfalls

Birds

The 19th Century

Towers

Candy/Cakes

Sports (probably been done before)

Great Apes

I don't have any pictures of the 19th Century that I took myself (hey, I'm OLD, but ... lol) Love all the other ideas though (nice mix). More than fine with any other letter of the alphabet as well (I promise to post an "L" before Sunday!).

The 19th century could work, though. I have photos of buildings built then, and steam trains and cemeteries. There are lots of possibilities.

Pity about the people ban I have some nice ones of Sue.

Ah yes Liz, didn't think of those possibilities

Well Ren, you could always just post a "link" rather than a pic in this thread ~
